Morphology

demonstrated = demonstrate (transparent) = demonstrate + ed

The adjective is the regular past-participial/ed form of the verb 'demonstrate', so its meaning is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

Demonstrated comes from the Latin verb monstrare, which means 'to show', with the small part de- giving the sense of doing it fully; so, something demonstrated is something clearly 'shown' or proved.
